WASHINGTON LETTER.

turned her back upon the Governor,
his wife and the Ohio troops, has
been subject OF conversation in all
circles, and / have not heard the
first voice of vindication of the con-
duct of Mrs. Cleveland. Thousands
of dispatches have been sent from
and received here in regard to this
indignity, and all serve to confirm
the truth of the transaction, and
none to excuse or palliate, save on
the ground that just at that time
the attention of the Presidential
family may have been called in an
other direction. This is worse than
no excuse. Ohio is no microscopic
State, and no matter what personal
feeling may exist between the Pres
ident and Governor in regard to
battle flags or anything else. this,
of all occasions, was the most inap-
propriate to show political animos-
ity. Everything thus far seems to
indicate that the Executive plan
was to publicly snub the Governor
and his State troops. That it was
done is noea question of dispute.
That it was a sad mistake is becom-
ing more apparent every hour. 1t
is said that the President now re-
grets it, and well he may, for such |
q fragrant insult works only to his
injury. The Administration recog-
nizing the fact of an overwhelming
defeat this Fall in Ohio, could have |
found other means to vent his
spleen and vindictiveness rather
than on this occasion of a peoples
Mrs. Cleveland, a
mere school girl two years ago, is
the head of the Nation,
and is talked of and flattered and
praised more than any other person

most people, but she really con-
;eives her importance now, and
it womanly as the wife of
The President for the mere time be-
ng, to publicly insult a great State
and her loyal citizens in National
occasion, simply because their IN

Gen. Black, Commissioner of
Pensions, and much talked of cam
lidate for the Democratic nomina-
ion for Vice President, seems to
lave an eye open to every oppor-
unity for increasing his worldly
tore. He draws the nice little sum

rnment, while his mother-in-law
nd three relatives hold good pay
ng clerkships here and are thus
nabled to keep the wolf from the
COR. His annual pension OF 81 200
